He is so technically correct.  He must have been a pleasure to coach as a boy.

But plenty still wanted him on the bench in favour of Mad Tommy. I also note that the poll had an overwhelming majority against the signing. Just goes to show that fans don't always know what's best.

I didn't want him at all, I thought the wages could've been better spent else were and I think the first few games he was a bit lethargic but since then he has been nothing short of first class, makes it look so easy.

If we go up this season he will easily be our best and shrewdest signing of the last 9 years.

It will be an attraction to any prospect that they will be playing along side of him.

I think this is only a one year deal for him. He said he didn’t want to play against Chelsea and I don’t know if he’s have come if we were a PL club. I can absolutely see him in Miami playing in Beckham’s MLS side or sooner at any number of sides that would take him in a heartbeat.

he's a total fuckwad as a person but he's been exemplary for us as a player.

There's been no evidence to suggest he's an evil person since he signed. I also think his influence on Jack cannot be underestimated. Far better than the example set by the likes of Gabby in recent years.

Whilst JT has worked tirelessly to get back fit from a broken bone, Gabby has used his muscle strain or whatever it is to set up a chav clothing company. One loves Chelsea, the other Villa!

I met him at the Belfry the morning of the Sheffield Wednesday game where he got injured and he was far from a fuckward. He was very approachable, friendly, wished me happy birthday (as it was) and even pointed out my golf ball in the rough after a shit shot.

I'm not going to change my opinion of him as an individual but have been very impressed with him as a Villa player.

Keep him if we go up and give him the day off in the Chelsea fixtures. I could cope with that.

Great though he's been so far for us, he is no longer up to prem standard. Would be great to have around the club at that level but at 37, it's a stretch to expect him to return to the Premiership and be able to excel.

McAuley at the Stripeys is 38, and half the player.
